Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On March 11, 2011, Inland Real Estate Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a second amendment to its Amended and Restated Term Loan Agreement dated as of June 24, 2010, (the “Term Loan Agreement”) and a second amendment to its Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 24, 2010 (together with the Term Loan Agreement, the “Credit Agreements”).  

The second amendments to the Credit Agreements (the “Amendments”) were entered into to remove the limit on the lowest base interest rate for borrowings, or the “floor” rate.  Prior to the Amendments, the base LIBOR floor rate was set at 1.5%.  At the time of the Amendments, one-month LIBOR, per the Credit Agreements, was 0.3125%.  Consequently, the interest rate on then-outstanding borrowings decreased from 4.5% to 3.5625%.  The interest rates paid by the Company may fluctuate in the future with the base rate (for example, LIBOR) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Credit Agreements.

In connection with the removal of the floor, the definitions of certain terms in the Credit Agreements that correspond to the spread between the interest rate on Company borrowings and the base rate applicable to any particular borrowing (for example, LIBOR) have been revised in the Amendments as reflected in the table below:  

Defined Term Under the Applicable Credit Agreement

Spread Before Second Amendment (percent per annum)

Spread After Second Amendment (percent per annum)

“Applicable Margin” for Fixed Rate Loans

3.00%

3.25%

“Applicable Margin” for Floating Rate Loans

2.00%

2.25%

“ABR Applicable Margin”

2.00%

2.25%

“LIBOR Applicable Margin”

3.00%

3.25%

The Company paid a modification fee for the Amendments equal to $750,000, which represents one quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the then-current aggregate commitment amount of $300 million.  The Amendments are attached as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this current report and incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.

Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
